Lower front with 18x9s? Help

Volstang · May 23rd, 2008, 02:42 PM

Ok I just put the new wheels on the car and Its gonna have to be lowered more in the front. When I lowered it the first time I used the Eibach pro kit. The rear looks fine but the front has to come on down a little.
Any suggestions?

did you remove the isolators? that might bring it down a little

99mustanggtman · May 23rd, 2008, 05:46 PM

Has that been done without problems?

get some 17's up front and thinner side walls... BUT you obviously are going for practicality and not a show car... this probably isn't a good option

You could look towards something like Eibach's ProStreet kit, which allows you to adjust the drop up to 2.5", but it's not cheap. Eibach also has a Sportline kit that lowers the front from 1.7" to 2.3".

Eibach Springs - Performance Suspension, Lowering Springs, Shocks, Sway Bars, Coil-Overs and Wheel Spacers!
